Alex Martelli, Python 2.4 and 2.5

The Python programming language is well-known and widespread, but many
developers may be unfamiliar with the latest features, particularly
those introduced in the 2.5 release (currently in Beta, and scheduled
for definitive release in August). This talk presents many interesting
new Python features, focusing on the 2.4 and 2.5 releases.

laurea in Ingegneria Elettronica from Bologna University. He wrote
Python in a Nutshell, and co-edited the Python Cookbook. He's a member
of the Python Software Foundation, a Python committer, and the winner
of the 2002 Activators' Choice Award and of the 2006 Frank Willison
award for outstanding contribution to the Python community. Before
Google, Martelli spent a year with Texas Instruments, 8 years with IBM
Research, 12 as senior consultant for think3 inc; and three as a
Python freelance consultant, mostly for AB Strakt. He has also taught
Programming, Numerical Computing, and OO Design at Ferrara University
and other venues.
